[HPFGU-OTChatter] DataVac

[Bumbledor]

While compressed air may work on many things, I smoke. I use a non static 
paint brush, 1 inch wide, and my vacume cleaner with its horsehair head on 
it, on drapery setting so that it is sucking very little air thru the actual 
end. I then brush the dust particles off into the suction. I also manualy 
remove the fans and clean them individualy.

As a smoker, it takes me a good hour or so once a month to give my system a 
good cleaning - and i have been doing it this way for the last 12 years. 
Static is the enemy, so I do it on an anti-static matt I bought just for 
doing it.
